iptables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]

ip6tables-restore [-chntv] [-M modprobe] [-T name] [file]  

DESCRIPTION

iptables-restore and ip6tables-restore are used to restore IP and IPv6 Tables from data specified on STDIN or in file. Use I/O redirection provided by your shell to read from a file or specify file as an argument.

-c, --counters

restore the values of all packet and byte counters

-h, --help

Print a short option summary.

-n, --noflush

don't flush the previous contents of the table. If not specified, both commands flush (delete) all previous contents of the respective table.

-t, --test

Only parse and construct the ruleset, but do not commit it.

-v, --verbose

Print additional debug info during ruleset processing.

-M, --modprobe modprobe_program

Specify the path to the modprobe program. By default, iptables-restore will inspect /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to determine the executable's path.
